Reviews
"""Women around the world are facing the sharp edge of climate change impacts, especially impacts on water. So this truly feminist political ecology of gender, water and vulnerability is timely, important, and sobering. It’s also exciting! From Lesotho to Mexico to Canada, justice and gender are on the agenda."" Paul Robbins, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA ""This is an exciting example of how approaching environmental change through a gender lens usefully unsettles taken-for-granted boundaries. Placing people's experiences at the heart of the analysis, the book engages with recent insights from a wide range of disciplines to rethink global environmental change. It is indispensable reading for those interested in how water, social difference, and power interact to produce highly uneven waterscapes."" Margreet Zwarteveen, UNESCO-IHE Delft, The Netherlands ""This collection moves feminist political ecology forward in an unassuming and practical way. The authors open us to hidden connections between social inequalities and natural resource actions – especially how gender shapes our interactions with water in its many forms –interactions which in turn shape who we are as individuals and as societies."" Claudia Radel, Utah State University, USA ""Using multi-disciplinary analysis, this powerful collection illustrates how water intersects with women’s everyday vulnerabilities. From North America to Central Asia, women’s voices have shaped struggles over access to water, whether for agriculture or mining or domestic use in contexts of growing competition, conflict and increasing risks to climate change."" Sara Ahmed, International Development Research Centre, Asia Regional Office, India ""This is a thoughtful, theoretically, and methodologically timely book examining women’s struggles and agency in light of rapid environmental change. The depth and complexity of the case studies provide compelling evidence of how gender shapes the manner in which water resources are contested; and how women’s knowledge and actions lead to better understanding of the many factors shaping the relationship between people and natural resources in the Global South and North. This important edited volume will contribute significantly to the growing field of Feminist Political Ecology and will be of interest to a wide range of scholars in the social sciences and humanities.""
